Memories of Yesterday

Chapter 2

“Nilalandi mo ang boyfriend ko!”

The girl shouted at me. I was on a break, And I was shocked that someone just shouted at me and accused me of flirting with her boyfriend.

She looks younger than me.

“Pasensya na. Mali lang ata kayo—”

“Hindi! Ikaw ang cashier na lagi niyang sinusulyapan dito! Ikaw yon!”

My eyes widened. Shocked at her revelation. I saw Yana walking towards us when she saw the girl.

“Anong nangyari dito?” She asked.

“Malandi yang babae na yan! Nilalandi niya ang boyfriend ko!”

Nagkatinginan kami ni Yana. I saw her expression and I knew she wanted to burst out laughing.

I simply shook my head at her. I also looked at our surroundings and can't help to be thankful na walang tao sa paligid.

“Nasaan ang manager niyo? Gusto ko siyang makausap!”

“Hoy! Tigilan mo nga kami sa ka dramahan mo na yan. Wala ka naman patunay na nilandi nito ang jowa mo.” Yana said.

I saw the girl's expression. Halata na hindi niya nagustuhan ang sinabi ni Yana.

“Pero laging nandito ang boyfriend ko. Sinabi din sa akin ng mga kaibigan ko na nandito siya palagi para kausapin ang cashier.”

I was confused about everything that the girls were saying.

We have a lot of customers here every day. I'm sure that I don't know who her boyfriend is. And I would never be a side-chick of someone.

“Hindi ko kilala ang boyfriend mo. At mas lalong hindi ako nakikipag landian kanino man.” I said simply.

“At tsaka ineng. Mag aral ka na lang ng mabuti kesa sa unahin mo yang jowa mo na yan. Hindi naman ata gwapo e.”

I pinch Yana's arms. Baka mas lalo pang magalit sa akin.

I saw the annoyed expression of the girl.

“Bahala nga kayo jan!” Then she walked out.

Parehas na lang kami ni Yana natawa at bumalik na sa trabaho.

It was exactly one in the afternoon when we stopped. Dumating na ang mga ibang cashier na papalit sa amin.

I reported my sales before I proceeded to our lockers.

I took off my uniform and changed my school's uniform.

I wore my uniform. It was a v-neck white polo and a white skirt na hanggang tuhod. I wore my ID.

"Hoy, ayos ka lang?" Yana asked about the confrontation with the girl earlier.

She's also a working student like me.

Nag papalit na ren siya ng uniform niya para pumasok. We're on the same university, iba lang ang course namin.

She's taking Tourism while I took Psychology.

Before I could answer Yana. Someone entered our lockers.

“Balita ko may babae daw na inireklamo ka ah”

Our workmate. Ericka said.

I looked at her with a knot on my forehead.

“Ano? Akala mo di makaka rating kay Sir Ben?”

She talked again, About our manager.

“Hindi naman totoo ang sinabi niya.”

I simply said and continued with what I was doing.
